6. Conclusions
- The uniaxial compressive strength of both dry and saturated sandstones is linearly related to water content, porosity, and mean grain size.
- For the triaxial compression condition, the internal friction angle is influenced by porosity. The internal friction angle decreases with the increase in porosity. A similar negative trend is observed between porosity and cohesion.
- A significant effect of the porosity and confining stress on the triaxial compressive strength was observed on dry sandstones. The results of this study offer insights into how commonly measured properties can be utilized to improve the engineering design of sandstone structures.
- Particularly, the research findings from this study are established based on different sandstone formations from all over the world. Hence, the proposed empirical equations provide a better prediction of sandstone mechanical properties.
